CYA in a sock

[waterbear]

Carl,
I was not worried about that here since I know Ben would put a stop to it fast but I frequent several forums and 'putting CYA in a sock' seems to be on it's way to becoming a TEKTAT. That is my real concern. (And I have been one of the first to say use a sock when the situation warrants it. Just not for the routine addition of CYA into a a pool with a skimmer.) As far as Ben's concern of calcium hypochlorite feeders, I do agree, but this is not a piece of equipment normally seen on residential pools. And I am aware that the intex donuts do not come with a skimmer. Heck, I sold enough of them and held customer's hands when they set them up. I usually recommended a set amount of dichlor to get the CYA up to speed in those cases. It dissolves fast and chlorinates at the same time.
